Must-See Shooting Video

The founding fathers wrote the Second Amendment to protect the citizens from an oppressive government, or in their words “A well Regulated Militia, being necessary to security of a state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

This Safety Act blocks all weapons that have a magazine with a capacity of more than 10 rounds, citing that no law abiding citizen has ever had to use more than 10 rounds to protect themselves or property, with one exception of a incident of someone firing more than 10 rounds at intruders that were fleeing.

The judge rejected the fact that assault weapons are rarely used in the act of most crimes. The attorney for the defendants cited that the most commonly-owned rifles are the AR-15 and the AK-47, along with lookalikes.

According to the Fire Arms Safety Act, over 8.2 million rifles and guns in the US would be considered assault weapons. This law gives exemptions to retired law enforcement for some odd reason. We have millions of retired Military personnel that have far more training than police officers and they are not exempt.

Some states took action with stricter gun legislation shortly after the Sandy Hook shooting. The shooting was a tragic event, but even this law wouldn’t have prevented it from happening. Ever since, more and more laws throughout the land have been implemented and are now being overturned in many states.
